Hi TL!

In this video I cover a very easy one base build order for the Protoss race in StarCraft 2: Heart of the Swarm. The build order is very easy to execute for new players, and only requires a little bit of practice before you can go on the ladder and beat your oponnents.
In this video I explain how to execute the most basic of basic timing attacks for Protoss, which is the Four Gate. 4 Gate’s are strong because they can be done on every single map in every single match up and in all situations. Obviously it won’t work all the way to Diamond league or higher, but in Bronze and Silver this build order should be relatively succesful in helping you beat your oponnents.



Build Orders allow you to go for a timing attack, which means that you push out with one or more upgrades finishes up.
Before going on the ladder and trying this timing push against real people I would advice you to open up a custom game and practice this versus no one, and get better that way.


9 Pylon
12 Gateway
14 Gas Geyser
@Gateway:
Cybernetics Core + Zealot
@Cybernetics Core:
Warp Gate + Stalker
@450 Minerals:
Add 3 more Gateways

All Chrono Boost is spend on the Warp Gate ability, except for the first two Chrono Boosts, those are done on the Nexus to boost out Probes faster.
About StarCraft 2. StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty and Heart of the Swarm is a military science fiction real-time strategy video game developed and released by Blizzard Entertainment for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X.

It works in diamond, also been done like soo many times.
It's nice that you redo this, but why take a build order that's been here since like the start of sc2 beta?
Second place is just a fancy term for loser

Besides 4 gate being relatively easy to beat these days, you can also afford a second stalker in there.

To recommend something for absolute newbies or people looking to refine protoss mechanics before jumping off the deep end into an FFE. Like the zerg build, it will not work at the highest level in all match-ups unmodified, but it is simple and it is enough to win a lot of games in the lower leagues.

Good video. I like your tutorial and teaching style. I personally have been trying to find something similar to do, but off of 2base, while still functioning in all matchups. Remember to stress the fundamentals such as constant probe production and avoiding supply blocks.
